Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 23 King Qin Baochao is online, another set of combo punches
Basic salary, ten taels of silver.

One month.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the people at the bottom of the class could not even imagine such a salary and remuneration.

You know, even the officials of the imperial court, many of them don’t have ten taels of silver a month!
For example, for a seventh-grade county magistrate, like Xiang Hai, a monthly salary of lumi is nine and a half stones.

According to the current price of rice in Lingnan, it is less than five taels of silver.

Of course, the food prices in Lingnan have always been tightly controlled and supervised by Zhu Xi, and they rarely fluctuate. If you are in a place where food is scarce, Xiang Hai's salary is definitely a high salary.

But in Lingnan, it is simply unimaginable that a woman who knows nothing can work in a workshop and receive ten taels of silver per month.

Of course, the wages of craftsmen in the Construction Bureau are also adjusted every month.

In Lingnan, Zhu Ping definitely needs to carry out reforms.

Instead of taking drastic measures, it is better to quietly influence and change things in a gentle and gentle way, moistening things silently.

Wage adjustment is a method that Zhu Ping relies on more.

Then, gradually establish the people's values ​​and change the people's values.

A couple, as long as they work hard enough, can earn about 20 taels a month.

Those who are more diligent, or those who have more than one wife in the family, may find ways to make more money. Others who cannot stand the hardships of the Construction Bureau and are relatively lazy may also have the opportunity to make money.

There are many jobs available overseas or in Panyu, and Zhu Ping can provide them.

If nothing else works, go and pull a rickshaw!
By the end of June, Qinwang Baobao was launched.

Zhu Xi first announced this important news in the newspaper, and then stipulated that everyone's salary should be replaced by treasure banknotes, and the treasure banknotes and silver could be freely blended at any time.

This alone completely binds treasure banknotes to hard currencies such as cash and gold.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang failed to do.

Because the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can only be exchanged, but they cannot be exchanged for real money at the government office.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow it.

Then, the value of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes in people's hearts will be greatly reduced.

Then Zhu Xi's second step was to ask Professor Luo to formulate a set of supplementary laws related to King Qin's banknotes, and began to popularize them everywhere to establish authority among the people. These included the crime of making counterfeit banknotes, which would be punished as a felony, and any other If a person refuses to receive the Qin King's treasure, he can be sued and convicted, etc.

In this way, the treasure banknotes once again gained prestige among the people.

The most cruel one is the third move.

How to make the local people cherish and cherish the Qin Wangbao?
Zhu Chong directly printed the heads of Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and himself on the banknotes.

Then, there is no need for Professor Luo to popularize it. Everyone knows that if you deliberately damage the King of Qin's treasure banknotes, it is tantamount to insulting the emperor, the King of Qin, and the Queen. This crime sounds scary.

Who dares to be disrespectful to treasure money?

After such a combination of punches, Zhu Ping successfully collected another million in cash, deposited it all into the government treasury, and transformed the most conspicuous shop opposite the government office in Panyu County into the first bank.

Bank of Ming Dynasty and Prince Qin’s Mansion!
Here, you can realize the equivalent exchange of treasure banknotes and gold and silver.

When Zhu Xi decided to do this, Xiang Hai was worried that people would use all their treasure notes to redeem gold and silver. After all, according to the ancients, genuine gold and silver made them more reassured.Xiang Hai even raised his concerns about this and went to Zhu Ping more than once to advise him. Zhu Ping became impatient and said: "Since I arrived in Lingnan, I have not seen any government offices, nor have I seen any officials on the provincial roads. , as the only county magistrate, I see that you are so worried, you are indeed a responsible person, otherwise... you are directly promoted to Guangzhou Futai, and the position of Panyu County Magistrate is given to Daotong!"

Good guy, Xiang Hai was directly promoted.

The county magistrate became a government official.

That is, the prefect.

This has been upgraded several levels.

Xiang Hai should be happy.

But actually?
In Lingnan, there have always been only county magistrates, and officials at the prefectural and Taoist levels never existed. After all, the Ming Dynasty had only just been founded and the war had not yet been finished. There was really no time to pay attention to the barren land of Lingnan.

In fact, are there any appointed government officials or provincial highway officials in Lingnan?

Have!
But these people all work in Jinling.

Most are part-time.

Whether they were part-time or not, they were assigned because they offended Zhu Yuanzhang or committed something, and then made various excuses, such as illness, etc., to not take up the post.

Therefore, many official positions in Lingnan are vacant.

The last time Zhu Xi asked Zhu Yuanzhang for the power of life and death, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give it, but the power to act expediently was still given to Zhu Xi. After all, this was a common practice, and Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally appoint the governor.

But what makes Xiang Hai unhappy is, what is Futai going to do?
He is considered to be the number one official in Lingnan.

It is still the most important Guangzhou Prefecture.

However, he himself did not understand his responsibilities.

Zhu Xi was not clear either.

This makes him...

It seemed like it was being emptied out.

Fortunately, Zhu Xi was not unkind. He just annoyed Xiang Hai and kept admonishing him. He didn't understand finance, so he sent him away. In mid-July, King Qin Baochao increased his prestige. No one in the world dared not refuse to accept this iron rule. After it spread among the people and became stable, Zhu Ping came to Xiang Hai and said to him: "Now the King of Qin's treasure banknotes have completely replaced gold and silver. The first step is to link up with the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Recently, some people under Shen Sen saw that the king was promoting the treasure banknotes, so they proposed to use the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes to trade, which gave Dao Tong a headache! You, a government official, also You can’t just do nothing all day long, right?”

After being left out to dry for eight months by Zhu Ping, he saw with his own eyes that King Qin Baochao had gained a foothold among the people. Now Xiang Hai had no temper at all when facing Zhu Ping and asked directly: "What should I do? Please give me your instructions, Your Highness!”

In front of Zhu Xi, Xiang Hai directly surrendered.

No way, the situation is stronger than people.

Zhu Xi laughed, and said to him: "Go and tell those people, Shen Sen didn't say a word! They want to be opportunistic, and they want to see who they are. Do you really think that the king dare not take their heads? This is Lingnan, even if they want to use treasure banknotes to trade, we will only accept King Qin’s treasure banknotes!"

In this case, I'm afraid only Zhu Ping would dare to say it.

Xiang Hai was extremely shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything, nodded and left.

Then, he heard Zhu Xi mutter: "Ming Dynasty treasure money? What is it! Cut~"

Xiang Hai, who was just about to go out, tripped over the threshold in fright, staggered and fell, almost fell hard, but he got up immediately and left, PUA himself while walking: I didn't hear anything , heard nothing...
